Manchester United midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has said that it is no surprise to see so many clubs including the Red Devils actively pursuing Randal Kolo Muani.
Kolo Muani is one of the names on United’s radar as the club plots to sign a world-class goalscorer ahead of next season.
Bayern Munich are also keen on signing the Eintracht Frankfurt star.
Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg spoke to Sabitzer and asked the Bayern loanee his thoughts about Muani and the possibility of linking up with the Frenchman at Old Trafford next season.
Sabitzer said, “I know him, he is a very good player. But I am not involved in transfer activities.”
“I can only say what kind of player he is. He has made an incredible step this year. So it’s clear that many clubs are interested.”

“You can feel it at Old Trafford. So I can only say that I enjoy being here and I’m very proud to have managed to be a part of the club.”
